Breeders

[TeriTiny2]

Jeff is NOT a breeder he is a BROKER! He buys many of his dogs at the auction in Texas. Im sorry to say but it's a blessing that Buttons died on him and not me.He paid 1,600. for her then tired to sell her to me for 10G's!!!!!. He then tried to say he paid that along with trading a Champ Mlae. ALL LIES!!!!!!!!! See I now know who the REAL breeder of her is I had a very lenghtly conversation with them. He buys the dogs for 300. to maybe 1,800. TOPS and resales them. Don't let him Bull **** you. He's NOT a breeder! He's a BROKER!!!!! There was something wrong with that dog or he would have posted the autopsy.PS I never gave him a dime for her. MY hubby wnated her for me for X'Mas...She was so beautiful. Hubby wanted her for me.He always trys to outdo himself every holiday with me.But we never sent Jeff a dime. So just to get all the rumors straight.
There are pleanty of good breeders out there. Stay CLEAR from him he lies.

Thank you and I'm still sorry that Buttons died - now that you said her name I remember her very well .....I'm glad you came on and posted as you have personal dealings with him - but you are echoing the stories I've heard too about Jeff Dane - He IS a broker - and he has many people left in his wake that feel the same way you do -

I've heard about his sales pitch and the sham he puts on for customers - People need to remember how MANY websites he has and how much he charges - that's not love for yorkies - that's love of money !

The other thing is he advertises the biggest best site on the net - YES - he has many sites - they used to all lead customers to his - and this pictures on his sites make me so angry - all those pups look TERRIFIED in the soda can pictures etc.

Out of defererance to LAURA who has a puppy by him - I hadn't said too much - but Jeff Danes site is so commercial - it SHRIEKS a huge money interest - I think he'd sell his own mother if she had a price tag on her.


and your hubby sounds wonderful by the way -

Well, this has certainly been an enlightening convo...not to mention downright depressing! How a fun positive search for a wonderful loving companion has turned into such a "cloak and dagger" foray into the darker side of people's greed, I don't know....but I for one...will not pay those ridiculous prices for those "super miniature" yorkie pups. Anyone with common sense would realize that there is something genetically wrong with these pups. They have a myriad of health problems....their fragile...which is completely opposite of what the sturdy, athletic Yorkshire Terrier was bred for. Its ridiculous.....are they cute? Sure...but so is a Hamster.

Wow, this guy really sounds terrible. I feel so sorry for these underweight dogs - they are the ones that truly suffer.

I am always sorry when people lose their puppies. Out of respect for all of you, I will discontinue my support-ie: not continue to recommend, although I still feel same as above. I think I am a good judge of character. He is the breeder listed on Bronx AKC papers. I will say nothing more on this unless asked. If I were looking for another pup (which I am not) I think I would be looking for a beiwer - they are so cute, and would be checking here. For now I have seven and that should hold me for a while.

Laura - you had a GOOD experience - I love that ...It doesn't hurt to share that - but on the flip side - you could just say "use caution" when telling people.

I personally have NEVER heard anything good about him and his site always creeps me out with all the soda cans and stuff - I KNOW it's to show size ...but dressing up and posing little scared puppies always bothers me - they do NOT look happy... or like my girls looked in their baby pictures - There is no light to their eyes - no expression....because it's a marketing tool for him - they are a huge moneymaker for him and he poses them for that reason - ALL yorkies are small born - but he is playing on that "Tiny" image and it's always bothered me looking at those pictures.

You should NOT be ashamed to say where you got your puppy - Feel Blessed maybe - but you can always feel free to say - yes you bought one there and have a happy healthy puppy - people will make their own decisions in the long run -

Thanks Villette - you are wise beyond your years. I was going to say if you wanted to come up - you could stay with us, and we could run up and check them out.

LOL Laura - That would be fun !! really it would - Paris TX isn't that far - knowing me - I'd have a VERY hard time walking away empty handed -

I have a feeling he's WAY slicker then I could ever deal with - I've seen his pics - he LOOKS like a good guy - who wouldn't believe that face ? He's very good at what he does till you peel off the layers.

Villette - I would guess you are pretty smooth yourself!

hehe... I've got a fast mouth that's for sure ! It's funny - My husband used to tell me I was funny - after being married a few years - it's now called being a smart a**

[Laura]

Yeah Mine just calls me 'whacko' I'm sure he means it in the nicest way.

Laura~

I wanted to thank you for posting your good story about your breeder, Jeff Dane. I had always heard the bad and was confused because I liked the look of his website, the facilities he has for the dogs (even though he breeds volume) and all the good advice his website has.

I have even spoken to him on the phone and found him very genuine and unconcerned about the stories on the internet because he knows in his heart that he is doing right by the animals. He had an answer (his side of the story) for every instance I cited of a bad story on the internet. If there are more than usual, it is because he does deal in volume and so there is no way to please everyone all the time and everyone, even the best of us, make mistakes because we are human.

I do not fault anyone for making money and the fact is that if these dogs are in high demand and we want them well cared for in state of the art facilities like his then we have to be willing to pay the price the market is demanding for the most in demand. JMHO!

[Laura]

Yes, I bought one there and have a happy healthy puppy. :zip:

[LvMyYorki]

Jeff Dane is a broker! Period! He makes the money of the backs of these beautiful little dogs. It may not bother some people, but it sure bothers the hell out of me! I have a hard time with anyone that is in it for the money and not the love of the breed.

Laura- You got lucky. On a board with 3,000 members not one other person has stepped forward to say one good thing about him or any of his dogs.

I would imagine that he does have an excuse for every instance of a dog dying. He's a salesperson and I really pity anyone that can't just see people for the scum that they are! Why you anyone want to buy from someone like him when there are plenty of reputable BREEDERS (NOT BROKERS) out there that are involved with breeding and Yorkies bc they love the breed, NOT bc Yorkies are in "high demand"! The whole concept is just disgusting to me! JMHO!!!

[Laura]

Jeff was raising yorkies when yorkies weren't cool.
